Sometimes I do an automatic songs, songs that you don't really think about, or work on. You just look back and it sorta surprises you.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
No, I always felt that amongst my core fans- because there was a level of popularity that I had in the mid '80s that was sort of a bump on the scale- they fundamentally understood the values that are at work in my work.
Bruce Springsteen

I don't want to make a record like in the '50s or the '60s or the '70s. I want to make a record like today, that`s right now.

You can't start a fire without a spark
Bruce Springsteen

I think when you're a child, you just cling to the basics, which is the basic story of Jesus and the crucifixion and hell and eternal punishment and the flames. This was all stuff that was - forget when you're young.
Bruce Springsteen

You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
I think that, when you're writing your songs, there's always a debate about whether, is that you in the song? Is it not you in the song?

At night I wake up with my sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head.

You can go from doing something quite silly to something dead serious in the blink of an eye, and if you're making those connections with your audience then they're going to go right along with it.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
It doesn't matter what happened last night or the night - or tomorrow night. It's all about what you're doing with this audience right now.
Bruce Springsteen

You know hearts these days are cheap.
Bruce Springsteen

If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.
Bruce Springsteen

I still like to go to record stores, I like to just wander around and I'll buy whatever catches my attention.

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty. And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Madman drummers, bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat. In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat.
Bruce Springsteen

The future is now. Roll up your sleeves and let your passion flow. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.
Bruce Springsteen

Blame it on the lies that killed us. Blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Bruce Springsteen

When you`re onstage you have a certain faith that somebody's gonna yell somethin' back. Some nights it's louder than other nights and some nights they do, and on some songs they don't. But that's the idea. I think when you begin to expect a reaction from an audience, it's a mistake.

I had tried to go to college, and I didn't really fit in. I went to a real narrow-minded school where people gave me a lot of trouble, and I was hounded off the campus - I just looked different and acted different, so I left school.

The songs themselves do broaden out as time passes and take on subtly different meanings, take on more meaning, I find.
